Multiple Condensation filters for road detection and tracking

In this paper, we present a novel and robust road tracking system for vision-based personal navigation. Novelty of the work includes the use of multiple Condensation filters to track the road of arbitrary shape and automatic switching between trackers according to road conditions. The approach allows the road to be represented as a simple hyperbola. It also supports the representation of the road as a sequence of connected arcs/segments so that information from a digital map can be integrated into tracking. The parameters of the hyperbola road model are estimated using multiple vanishing points located in image strips. The road tracking method is robust in dealing with complex road shapes, background clutters, shadows, and road markings. Experiments using real videos demonstrate the robustness of our approach.

Fuzzy sets and similarity relations for semantic web service matching

Semantic Web Services (SWS) were introduced to facilitate the publication, discovery, and execution of web services. A semantic matchmaker enhances the capability of UDDI service registries in the SWS architecture and it is able to recognize various degrees of matching for web services. On the basis of SWS and fuzzy-set theory, a fuzzy matching approach for semantic web services is proposed, to support a more automated and veracious service discovery process.     

Synthesis of quantum size ZnO crystals and their gas sensing properties for NO2

Quantum size ZnO crystals have been synthesized successfully by a room temperature sol-gel process. Oleic acid (OA) has been used as capping agent to control the particle size of ZnO. The crystal structure and size of the ZnO are characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The XRD results show the as-synthesized ZnO has hexagonal wurtzite structure and the average crystallite size is 5.7 nm which is little less than TEM result. It is testified by photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectra that the quantum size ZnO keeps the crystal structure of the bulk ZnO and possesses more surface defects. The quantum size ZnO has the highest response of 280 to NO₂ and the highest selectivity of 31 and 49 corresponding to CO and CH₄ at operating temperature of 290 °C. The effect of calcination temperatures on sensing property and transient response of the ZnO sensor are also investigated.

Robust optimization of supply chain network design in fuzzy decision system

This paper presents a new robust optimization method for supply chain network design problem by employing variable possibility distributions. Due to the variability of market conditions and demands, there exist some impreciseness and ambiguousness in developing procurement and distribution plans. The proposed optimization method incorporates the uncertainties encountered in the manufacturing industry. The main motivation for building this optimization model is to make tools available for producers to develop robust supply chain network design. The modeling approach selected is a fuzzy value-at-risk (VaR) optimization model, in which the uncertain demands and transportation costs are characterized by variable possibility distributions. The variable possibility distributions are obtained by using the method of possibility critical value reduction to the secondary possibility distributions of uncertain demands and costs. We also discuss the equivalent parametric representation of credibility constraints and VaR objective function. Furthermore, we take the advantage of structural characteristics of the equivalent optimization model to design a parameter-based domain decomposition method. Using the proposed method, the original optimization problem is decomposed to two equivalent mixed-integer parametric programming sub-models so that we can solve the original optimization problem indirectly by solving its sub-models. Finally, we present an application example about a food processing company with four suppliers, five plants, five distribution centers and five customer zones. We formulate our application example as parametric optimization models and conduct our numerical experiments in the cases when the input data (demands and costs) are deterministic, have fixed possibility distributions and have variable possibility distributions. Experimental results show that our parametric optimization method can provide an effective and flexible way for decision makers to design a supply chain network.     

An effective algorithm to detect both smoke and flame using color and wavelet analysis

Fire detection is an important task in many applications. Smoke and flame are two essential symbols of fire in images. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to detect smoke and flame simultaneously for color dynamic video sequences obtained from a stationary camera in open space. Motion is a common feature of smoke and flame and usually has been used at the beginning for extraction from a current frame of candidate areas. The adaptive background subtraction has been utilized at a stage of moving detection. In addition, the optical flow-based movement estimation has been applied to identify a chaotic motion. With the spatial and temporal wavelet analysis, Weber contrast analysis and color segmentation, we achieved moving blobs classification. Real video surveillance sequences from publicly available datasets have been used for smoke detection with the utilization of our algorithm. We also have conducted a set of experiments. Experiments results have shown that our algorithm can achieve higher detection rate of 87% for smoke and 92% for flame.
